When he heard this question, Wei Yu suddenly wanted to leave quickly without leaving any trace.

He only moved half an inch on his toes when he saw a civet cat walking out slowly.

Mr. Cat came to the threshold, raised his round head and greeted Wei Yu: "Meow."

At the same time, Wu Dutou also stood quietly inside the door: "Inspection Guard, you are here."

It would be a little unreasonable for Hou to leave at this time.

Wei Yu took advantage of the situation and walked through the door with a flick of his sleeves. He raised his head and met the unfamiliar but vaguely familiar face.

The young man's face is very white, his eyebrows are like ink, and his lips are slightly pale due to excessive blood loss. Even so, he is still naturally beautiful.

Fei Lian said earlier that he was the most handsome, and it was true.

Because of his young age, his face is vaguely childish. Only a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes revealed a coldness and depth that was inconsistent with his age, coupled with a pair of handsome sword-like eyebrows, they were so dazzling and so rusty that people dared not look directly at them.

Turning back time, she could not put the young man in front of her and the Taotie General Su Yuanzhi in her memory together perfectly.

Fei Lian jumped forward first: "Inspection Inspector, I told Brother Jiu that you like the Nine Immortals King Dao Cake he makes very much. Although you don't know about the Beifeng Snow Tower you are talking about, you will definitely be able to make it in the future."

There was no emotion in Su Jiuyao's eyes.

Wei Yu swallowed his saliva and could only laugh dryly.

do not know?

God knows, she heard the name "Beifeng Snow Tower" from Su Yuanzhi.

The first time she tasted that kind of thing in her life was also because of him.

Wei Yu smiled slightly at the young man on the couch: "Are you awake?"

She really didn't know what to say.

Su Jiuyao frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused and a little alert: "Are you Wei...yu?"

Wu Du's head was at the door, Anxian Cheng and Fei Lian were both at the bedside. When Su Jiu Yao called Wei Yu by name, the three of them were surprised. Fei Lian looked at the young man in surprise.

Wei Yu acted as if nothing had happened and smiled kindly: "Yes, I am exactly the same. I wonder... what are the instructions from Master Jiu?"

This was said very politely, but as soon as she said it, she felt a little regretful. Apart from the different names, she almost dreamed of getting along with Su Yuanzhi after their marriage.

Su Jiuyao stared silently: "Where are you from?"

Wei Yu raised her eyebrows: "From the capital." Her identity has been exposed, and she doesn't have to hide anything.

The frown on the tip of the young man's eyebrows was obviously deeper, and his eyes looked at her again from head to toe.

It could be seen that he still seemed to have questions, but he did not ask them.

The two people stood face to face, a short distance apart. Each person's eyes glanced at the other person from time to time, but they spoke very little.

The atmosphere in the room was so awkward. Not only Fei Lian and Wu Dutou'an County Cheng, but also the cat master who called Wei Yu in the door felt it. He raised his tail and kept scurrying between the two of them, as if he was trying his best to break the tension between them. deadlock.

But Su Jiuyao just turned around silently, while Wei Yu was so happy that he quickly found an excuse to leave.

The night rain began to fall again.

Anxian Cheng accompanied Wei Yu to the room and talked about returning to the county town tomorrow.

"I'm scheduled to leave at half past Yin time tomorrow. Wu Du is worried about Su Jiu and wants to stay for two more days." An Cheng's admiration for Wei Yu can be described as overwhelming, and his words are respectful: "I said before that I would leave, but I don't know. Have you made your itinerary yet?"

Wei Yu recalled the look at each other with Su Jiuyao just now and said, "Tomorrow will be fine." He just didn't know if that old fox Huang Shiduo would let him go easily.

An Cheng asked tentatively: "I wonder if there is anyone following the inspection team?" He was afraid that Wei Yu would be displeased, so he added: "I'm not bold enough to ask about your itinerary, but I'm just a little uneasy. After all, there are many mountains and forests around Changhuai. , It’s not a peaceful situation. Previously, I always saw the patrol inspector walking alone... I’m afraid something might be wrong.”

Wei Yu smiled: "Thank you, Prime Minister An, for reminding me."

At this moment, a soldier next to Huang Shiduo came up and saluted: "Weight inspection, Mr. Huang has an order. If you want to stay, it's a good idea. But if you have something to leave, the main town will send someone to escort you." , let the inspectors do whatever they want.”

Wei Yu was slightly startled.

She naturally understood that Huang Shiduo's words meant that he would not force her to stay.

Glancing at An Cheng beside him, Wei Yu said, "That's just right. I plan to set off with An County Prime Minister tomorrow. I wonder what the County Prime Minister wants?"

An Cheng was listening to her attentively. Hearing this sentence suddenly, he was overjoyed and laughed: "Okay, this is naturally the best."

When the soldiers heard about it, they went back to report it.

That night, Wei Yu rested alone in the guest room. Hearing the rain knocking on the window outside, countless fragments of the past came flooding out of his heart.

She was very reluctant to look back on those past events from a lifetime ago.

Once upon a time, the first meeting between Wei Yu and Su Yuanzhi was not very harmonious.

When the Taotie General Su Yuanzhi was not yet famous for his military exploits, he had an unpleasant quarrel with her when he first came to Beijing, causing a storm in the city.

For some reason, Su Yuanzhi got into a fight with Amang, the bodyguard beside her, and Amang, who was excellent in martial arts, actually suffered a loss.

At that time, Wei Yu was the most popular "confidant" in front of His Royal Highness Prince Ji, and she was very protective of him, so how could he endure such a tone.

So she secretly communicated with Commander Zhang of the Jiucheng Infantry Yamen, and the two parties joined forces to teach Su Yuanzhi a lesson.

Unexpectedly, when Su Yuanzhi came to Beijing again two years later, it would be the moment when Wei Yu fell into the prison and was most embarrassed and helpless.

Hearing that the Taotie General Su Yuanzhi came to visit him, Wei Yu naturally thought that he was here to avenge himself.

To be honest, Tianlao is already eerie and terrifying, just like hell.

But all that terror was nothing compared to an old enemy standing in front of him, especially when he still had such a ferocious Taotie tattoo on his face.

Through the railing, Wei Yu only saw a pair of eyes that were as bright as a cold light, almost like a ghostly Shura, or like a hungry beast that had descended from the mountain somewhere.

At that time, Su Yuanzhi didn't say a word, just stared at her silently.

Wei Yu himself thought of one hundred and eight different torture methods, which almost made him faint from fright.

Su Yuanzhi did nothing and left quietly.

Immediately afterwards, there was an edict granting marriage.

Wei Yu did not expect that among the many punishments in the world, Su Yuanzhi would choose the most cunning one.

But later it turned out that...the so-called "punishment" was not what she thought.

At least, those days were the few she was willing to recall secretly.

After all, all the wonderful sweet flavors she has loved most in her life are in it.

For example, the North Wind Snow Pagoda in spring, the radish Shunqi Soup in winter, the sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnut soup in autumn, fresh and crisp chestnuts boiled with sugar, the sweet and delicate lotus root starch soup, and the golden and fragrant osmanthus, Seasoned with greasy green plum slices, both appearance and taste are excellent.

There were also many delicacies that she had never heard of or tasted, which not only nourished her body well, but also cured her mental problems.

After a long, long time, Wei Yu finally realized that she had always mistakenly looked at the evil-looking General Taotie.

I didn't sleep well that night, with the sound of wind and rain, and the faint sound of someone crying.

Wei Yu tossed and turned, and didn't realize until she woke up that she had dreamed about that night when she was still in the Wei family many years ago.

That night, her father passed away, and she asked the young Prince Ji for a will to change her destiny.

It was extremely early, the rain had not stopped yet, and Anxian Cheng was already ready to go.

Wei Yu briefly packed up and left Yelang Pass with An Cheng under the escort of the soldiers sent by Huang Shiduo.

The moment the city gate opened, Wei Yu turned back and glanced in the direction of the main town hall.

No matter whether Su Jiuyao is really Su Yuanzhi or not, today's incident can be regarded as settling the past grudges.

Just as she decided to leave Prince Ji's Mansion because she was unwilling to face His Highness Prince Ji.

But she was also unwilling to face Su Yuanzhi, and came all the way to Changhuai County. Maybe she just thought about it but had a little knot in her heart. Now that her wish has been fulfilled, it is time for everyone to forget about each other in the world.

The carriage was bumpy on the road that had just rained.

Listening to the tinkling of horse bells outside and the chaotic sound of horse hooves on the ground, inside the car, with the help of a dim candlelight, Anxian Cheng repeatedly tapped Wei Yu next to her. Her face seemed to glow with warmth under the shadow of the lamp. Never tire of it.

Finally, he summoned up the courage to ask: "Inspector, there is one thing I don't understand."

Wei Yu came to his senses: "Please speak."

An Cheng said: "How did the patrol inspector know that there was Xidi's secret work in the army? Well... I didn't mean to pry, I was just curious. If it's not convenient to tell, the patrol inspector doesn't have to tell me."

"It's okay to tell the county magistrate," Wei Yu said slowly: "Yelang Pass is the first pass to stop Xidi. In the past few months, the soldiers have been ambushed repeatedly when leaving the city. Although Hu Xiang is incompetent, this is too much of a coincidence. , this is one. Second, it is common for two armies to fight each other, and they will coordinate with each other, so when I used Xidi's words to bluff, someone would definitely jump out."

Anxian Cheng's eyes seemed to be shining with stars: "Although this is the truth, I never expected that the patrol inspector could even speak Xidi's words, and he said it so well. I have been pregnant for many years, and I can only Just learn a sentence or two.”

Wei Yu smiled and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing."

She didn't explain in detail.

In fact, although Wei Yu's reason for telling Anxian Cheng was in the past, the reason that really made her convinced that Ye Lang Pass must be carefully planned came from her memory.

That is the memory of the previous life.

The destruction of Yelangguan was due to the collusion between the inside and outside forces and the Xidi people.

The defeat of the battalion led to the siege of Changhuai County.

At that time, the person in charge was none other than An Cheng, the second master in front of Wei Yu.

The Prime Minister of An County stepped forward in times of crisis and led the people of Changhuai to resist for half a month. On the day of defeat, he jumped from the top of the city to his death.

Although the details of Ye Lang Pass have been removed now, who knows if there is anything else that cannot be guarded against.

Wei Yu did not dare to say that the fate of Changhuai County could be changed if he lived again.

And An Cheng...

But at this moment, a scream came from outside the car.

Amid the screams, the carriage shook violently, and An Cheng hurriedly opened the curtain: "What's going on?"

Wei Yu, who had quick eyes and quick hands on the other side, grabbed An Cheng and pulled hard.

When there was no time to spare, a cold arrow shot from the outside, barely grazed Anxian Cheng's face, and shot into the carriage wall with a "pop" sound.
